| Several of our esteemed contemporaries
in noticing the successful issue Of the Water
project here, have complimcntcd us upon
our share in the work of bringing it about.
Thanks, friends; your kindly comment
strengthens us.
New FIRM.-Ncssrs G. C. II e. E. Black
have purchased tho stock of furniture be-
longing to MI Geo. d. Keyscr and arc now
carrying on the business in Mr.. Keyscr's
room, where they will remain until their
new building on the corner of Main and
Carroll-s,s. is completed
In Cecil county the public roads are let to
contract to the lowest bidders. The bids
were opened on Monday and the aggregate
showed $l3,500, with some sections not bid
for. The sections not bid for at the same
rate would foot up about IS 500, making TO-
tai cost of roads 81 ,O00.-1dcocate.
PREMATtKE.-A number of orr cXchang
cs contained about one month ago an item
to the effect that the railroad depot at this
place was to he removed at once. 1t has
not vet been removed, but will be and when
the time arrives we will probably know it
and so state.
The 10000 worth of stock Of the Mcchah
lcstown Water Company has all been taken,
and the company has levied an assessment
of So 90 per share, with which to begin work
at once. BY tight squeeze $500 might he
raised in mproGressive Middcown for a
like necessary obicct TdNeV Register
1t seems to he the impression of our coun-
try people, that not only the strawberry
crop, but the fruit crop generally will he
short in Frederick county this year. Should
this turn out to be the case, we may rason
ably expect to pay high prices for our apples,
peaches, pears, pums, sc both for ordinary
use and preserving purposes Citizen.
The Westminster AdE0c0c advocates the
removal of old shoes and tin cans from the
streets of Westminster.
Jus, how old shoes and tim cans get to be
an obstruction on the streets Of Ncrtmn-
stcr, a town of more than average modern
| prctcntions, is; in the language of Dundrcary
"onc of those things no fclar can find ont.
| Re ports concerning the wheat crop are
as bad as they can well be; The crop is not
shcadln- properly and the fly and joint worm
are destroying large quantities. In some
places there will be too little TO pay for har-
ycsting and we hear two to five bushels per
acre named as the probable yield in many
fields Raising wheat las been losing bus
mess in recent years and our farmers should
consider well before they put out N wheat
so many acres there are other crops that
will pay better.
| VISIT or \ FORMER pAsToN.-On sun

years nro the pastor of the NJ. +. church in
! this place, preached an able sermon in that
church.
